Does Peru field T-55's with the bra armor upgrades? I think that's the T-55AM/AM2.

In the following weeks is expected that Diseņos Casanave will demonstrate its T-55M2A1 that includes 'something' called a "Pancake" Armor Kit. Also includes the ability to fire the Bastion Missile, A/C, Turbo, and a few other improvements to the ol' and reliable T-55.

Anyway, some people would like to see an increase in the number of Su-25s.

I'm guessing the "pancake" armor is another name for the "bra" armor kit seen here on this AM2.

The T-55M2A1 seems to be a promising upgrade. The AT-10 Stabber seems to be a nice addition. Although the armour penetration ability is somewhat on the low side I assume it's enough for what Peru's neighbours has in their inventory.

The missile can engage tanks with explosive reactive armour (ERA) as well as slow, low-flying targets such as helicopters. Range is 100 to 4,000m. Hit probability is given as at least 0.8 with armour penetration of 550-600mm RHA. Ammunition load is 8 rounds.

Kekkonen,

You got it!

Really depends on the neighbourhood. What they have as well as their tactics and intentions.
